THE GROWTH OF MONTANA.
Points from Gov. l,eslie,s Report.

The annual report Of Gov. Leslie, Of Montana
Territory, has been received by the Secretary OF
the Interior. At the outset he pays high tribute
70 the hardy pioneers who settled and have built
up the Territory. The present population is
about 10000. there having been an
increase OF 10000 IN the last year.
Agriculture Is the chief business OF the people, the
great loss Of stock by the severe winter having
turned general attention to ordinary farming
The experience Of last winter showsthat cattle
cannot be put on the ranges without some pro-
vision for their protection In severe weather. The
number OF domestic animals In the Territory is:
Cattle 400 900; horses 100 600; sheep 2.O00, 600
in the past year. The assessed taxable value Of
trial pursuits
MINING CONTINUES 10 BE TIE LEADING OCCUPATION.
Notwithstanding the low price OF silver, copper
and lead, more money has been invested and more
mines developed than in any previous year Of the
Territory. The total product OF gold, silver, cop
per- and lead will be sec, OOO, 900 for the year.
wASToN WASTE OF LUMBER.
He speaks encourag1ngly OF the outlook for the
fuel resources OF the Territory. He deprecates the
rapid decrease OF the forests Of Montana and sug-
gests that the General Government should survey
these lands and sell them to private citizens under
proper regulations, as they would then have d
strong motive to procure such legislation as WOULD
prevent the wanton waste OF lumber. and the care!
The whole number OF miles OF new railroad built
ana put In operation during the year was GIG. !.
THE AMOUNT OF SCHOOL MONEY
received by direct taxation and fines In the courts
was $3.50, 337 The Territory has substantial, com!
modious and even elegant school buildings, and
the most approved school system is kept up during
the greater part OF the year.
Wages are good and the labor supply Is abund-
ant. The working men and women are prosperous
and happy.
TIE INDIAN QUESTION.
The Government control OF the Indians has been
successfully administered, and the Indians have
been generally quiet but the governor complains
that the Blackfeet and Blood Indians from the
British territory occasionally make thieving raids
into Montana. Gov. Leslie, IS did Gov. Stevenson
OF Idaho, complains OF the effect OF the alien land
law, saying that II prevents the investment Of
etgn capital for the development OF what he calls
the great mountains OF precious metals.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA. r. Parsons
book, The Philosophy of Anarchism,"
was issued to-day in bright reddish
cOlors. One chapter brings out some
new points in regard to the trial of the
anarchists. 1t appears that Lawyer
Foster and Capt. Black were funda-
mentally at variance as TO
the method of conducting the
case, but that Foster carried
the day in the councils and had his way
in court. Aside from this piquant
feature. the book. as fOreshadOwed by
the few pages given out some time ago,

the authors peculiar social views. In

Drank to Kill a Brothef.

MoNTGoN ERY. Ala. Dec. 17.-Addi-
tional particulars of the Henry county
tragedy. in which Robert and John
Johnson killed their older brother
Charles, say the difficulty occurred at
2 o'clock at night. Their father had
made Charles manager of the
farm. and this had caused bad blood.
Fresh fuel was added TO the flame when
the time came TO divide the crop. The
younger boys went off and got drunk,
came home and killed their older
brother, stayed around until the neigh
bOrs came, and then cOolly went off
whistling. No doubt is entertained that
they will be lynched. The scene of the
tragedy is thirty-fve miles from any
telegram station.

VIRGINIA'S DEBT.
Further DiScussiOn-A Counsel
lOr's Proposition.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-THE finance
committee of the two houses of the gen
eral assembly held a special meeting to-
day to hear W. L. Royal, counsel for
the foreign bOndhOlderS, which was par
ticipated in by nearly every person
present. Mr.. Royal asked that all ac-
ton in the coupon cases be suspended
for thirty days. saying that during that
time he would use his best efforts to
prevent any coupons being presented
in payment for taxes; that he would go
to London and endeavOr to get the
English bOndhOlderS to settle upon
terms satisfactory to the state, and that
if the bOndhOlderS refused to agree to
his proposition. he would resign his pO-
SitiOn as counsel. The sentiment of the
committee, as expressed by many of the
members, was that it would be useless
for Mr.. Royal to undertake any negOtia-
lions which departed from the princi-
pies of the Riddleberger bill. A COM
mittee was appointed to prepare a reSO-
luton in relation to the matter to be
presented at joint meeting of the COM
mitteeS next Monday.

VOORHEES,. VIEWS.
The Senator Discusses the Tax on
Spirits.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 17.-Sena-
tor Voorhees,. in the course of an inter
view to-day. said he should not favor
any reduction of the tax on spirits. He
might, however. be willing to repeal
the tax on tobacco, except cigars and
cigarettes, Mr.. Voorhees, says he stands
on the Democratic platform of 1884, and
thinks President Cleveland has not de-
parted from it. In reducing the taxa
ton, Senator Voorhees, would endeavor
to guard the labor interests and
protect them from competition with
cheaply paid competitors. In abiding
to free trade the senator said: "A
great many people use the term free
trade without knowing or caring what
it means. Free trade means no tariff
tax; it means the abandonment of Gus
tom houses, and a resort to direct taxa
ton of states. Under such system III
diana'S proportion would be nine or ten
millions year. l don't think any body
wants to try the experiment in this or
any other state" The senator has usu-
ally been claSsed as prOtectiOnist.
